Laptop sugestions for a good price.

My main computer is OK but I kept my old one, 98se as a spare, but it takes
up room. It seems almost everyone I know has a laptop, but from what I see
laptops are more to buy than desktop computers.
Is it possible to get laptops at better prices?
I wonder if prices are high due to them being a must have item.

i only use PC's, and only ever will until i decide i really want the
mobile ability a laptop gives me - and even then i'll still use a PC as
a main.

Yes I agree, whilst people will pay £500+ they will ask it.
But look at terrestrial digital TV boxes at first £399 now £25 in Tesco.
DVD players hundreds of pounds saw one in Asda £19.99.

Local Woolies has them at 349.99 ! However ! If you do buy one and
then find out that it won't do something that you want it to do, you
will pay an arm and a leg to upgrade !

Not of the top of my head ! Happened to be in there with the wife on
Monday..... I avoid going out shopping if I can. I'm sure you know what
I mean.

If you do not know why you might need a laptop or prefer it to a desktop why
buy one?
Even zillion dollar laptops with dual 3d video cards are significantly
slower than desk top units and far more expensive.
If all you do is surf the web, use word processing and occasional
spreadsheet or financial programs a laptop may be preferable to a desk top.
I perform all my daily business on a laptop but everything else on a higher
end desktop.
Even low-end current model portables will likely outperform a Win98 vintage
desktop.
Alas the many low-end laptops out there, under $1000, are generally lacking
in processing power, disc space or memory for anything but basic use.
As laptops have no second hard drive, and a USB second drive does not count,
they all really require at least 512mbs of ram, preferably 1gb, for anything
like Photoshop, video editing or other intensive application.
